Nikolaj Ehlers seem to be playing more or less like his level last year for Biel U20.
So far 6G 5A in 13 maches. He is actually below 1 point/game which is a little regress from last year with 17G 17A in 28 matches. But then Biel is 13 out of 14 teams, so they seem to be struggling.

The team is quite bad. But Ehlers has been a part of 36% of all goals scored by the team, which is not bad. And no one on the team is at a PPG pace right now because the team has a hard time scoring, they only score around 2.3 goals per game. And they recently went 7 or 8 games without scoring more than 2 goals.

For what it's worth, he is a ppg player as of now.

17gp - 10g - 7a - 17pt

Keeping in mind it is on such a bad team, and he is by far the youngest then its quite good.

Jevo, can you calculate how big a percentage of the goals he has been involved in as of now?

He is right now the leading U17 player in the U20 league, infront of Timo Meier and Pius Suter.
He is CLEAR number one in only terms of goals.

Fabrice Herzog is the youngest guy on the top ten scoring but he is on a good team feeding better players and getting fed by better players.

Im really getting exited for him.. He is leading scorer on his team, but also the youngest

Don't know how strong 2014 draft is looking, but he could be top 20 talent

I would think he is up there among the top danish talents of all time. If he continues he would be an almost certain 1'st draft pick. How high will be exiting to see. I agree with top 20 is possible, depending on how strong the 2014 draft will be.

Ehlers got another 3 assists in 2 matches this weekend. Next weekend is the last two games of the first part of the season. After that the 14 team league splits into two, with the top 7 teams playing each other twice, and the bottom 7 teams doing the same. Points are carried over, and while the top 7 teams are playing to determine playoff seeding, the bottom 7 teams are playing for 8th and last playoff spot, while the last 6 teams has to play a relegation tournament.

Biel will be in the bottom half, like they were last year too. This should boost Ehlers stats, since he will be playing more games against worse teams. But it will be hard to use them for comparison since other players are playing against better teams. But we can use it to track his progression from year to year.

While eliteprospects lump the stats from the two together into one, the Swiss hockey union, luckily for us, doesn't. Their site tells us that Ehlers scored 26 points in 23 matches during the "vorrunde" last year, equal to 1.13 PPG, this year he is at 33 points in 24 matches, equal to 1.38 PPG, a very good progression.

Yes I was bored this morning, why are you asking?

By all means...please be bored more often
Thanks for this info, would have taken me ages to find myself.
3 assist in 2 games....sounds like he is in a slump they way he played before that

Appears Ehlers has been called up to the Danish U20 WJC team after Jonas Sass got injured. In the first test match against Japan he got 1 assist, the boxscore from the second game against Japan is still not available. The final team selection is tomorrow.

Not surprised, he was a late call up, so he had his work cut out for him. And this year is probably one of the hardest years for a young player to make the team. The 92 generation wasn't very strong, at least not on offence, we only had 3 92 forwards on the team last year. So not a lot of spots have opened up. And the 93 generations is one of the best in years. Last year there was 14 players on the team not in their last season of eligibility, this year it's only 8. Most other years I think he would have made the team, but just not this one.

Yeah it look promising for a quick return to the elitedivision with this season U20 roster.
So Nikolaj Ehlers will have to fight for the return of the U18 team instead.

The depth of the team is really good this year, and is probably one of the best Denmark has seen in a long time. But it's a shame that Nicklas Jensen isn't playing, he would have been the best player in the tournament. But Denmark should still be one of the favourites to promote.

Back to Ehlers, he isn't wasting his time. Already back in Swtizerland he has one 1 goal after one period of this nights game. Just a mere 24 hours after his latest game.

Nope that's for certain. 19G 16A now in 25 matches and 3-4'th in points in the Swiss U20 as 16 years old....on a team that is 14'th out of 14.
It's time for WOW
